Hello everybody and welcome! The 2021 NFL season is finally underway and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best and easiest to win NFL DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score, which consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NFL, Single Stat consists of quarterback passing yards, running back rushing yards, and wide receiver receiving yards in which you determine if the player in question will go over or under their projected total. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. Today, we will look at some fantasy score totals for the Week 2 of the NFL season.

Fantasy Score NFL Totals
Before diving into some solid fantasy score totals this week, we must first cover the PrizePicks scoring format. The format is PPR, which stands for a point per reception, meaning every reception is worth one point. Rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth six points and passing touchdowns are worth four points. Each rushing or receiving yard is worth .1, meaning every 10 yards of either is worth one point. Quarterback passing yards are worth .04, which means every 25 passing yards are worth one point. If you ever have questions, you can always click the "scoring chart" option above the player selections for each contest. Now let's get to some solid fantasy score props for this week.
Austin Hooper over 7.5 fantasy score - Hooper could make for a solid play against the Texans as a secondary target for Baker Mayfield considering Odell Beckham Jr. will once again miss this week's action. Last week, Hooper hauled in three of three targets for 27 yards. This week, he will be facing a Texans Defense that allowed tight ends to score over 12 fantasy points per game in 2020. They followed up last year's performance by allowing Jaguars' tight ends to score 20 points against them last week.
Nick Chubb over 18.5 fantasy score - Chubb might be one of my favorite plays this week as the Browns look to bounce back from a horrible loss late last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. He should find the matchup ripe for the picking in this one as the Texans gave up the most rushing yards to backs in 2020 by allowing nearly 146 yards per game. Chubb saw 15 carries for 83 yards last week against the Chiefs and should be in line for a bigger workload this week, especially considering the Browns are 12.5-point favorites as I type this. He also was targeted twice and hauled in both receptions, so the PPR format will work in our favor with Chubb as well.
Marquez Callaway over 9.5 fantasy score - Callaway was shut down last week by Jaire Alexander, but this week he will be going up against Juston Burris who has given up some big games to wide receivers and gave up 10 fantasy points last week against the Jets wide receivers. Our own Andrew Lalama rates him a six, which is the lowest score a corner can receive on his WR/CB matchup sheet, which can be found here. Callaway should see plenty more targets as this game figures to be competitive with the Saints favored by 3.5 and a total of 44.5.
Other Recommendations: Kyle Pitts over 12.0 fantasy score, Keenan Allen over 18.0 fantasy score, Chris Carson over 15.0 fantasy score, K.J. Hamler over 10.0 fantasy score
Overall recommendation for this play: FLEX
